Scenes from Potlatch Forests, Inc., pulp and paper operations, Lewiston, Idaho. A kneeling employee of Potlatch Forests, Inc., examines one roll on the C-fold facial tissue line at the Idaho facility. There may have been 200 rolls running, extending the length of the September, 1964, photograph. As each roll would unwind around the rollers folding into a c pattern, it would run along the bottom and go through the saw house. They were cut down to size prior to being put into facial tissue boxes. This machine was later phased out as it was replaced by the I-fold machines that made the interfolding facial tissue. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York. ALBUM 15. (Additional information on the C-fold facial tissue line & process provided by a reader)

The Jerry Sun Four. Three members of the Jerry Sun quartet are shown striding forth on September 26, 1964. The fourth member is barely visible; only his left arm appears in this cropped photograph. The local group had appeared in the Rhodes Bros./Seventeen Magazine fashion show in August, 1963. According to a mention in the "Suburban Beat" TNT column of February 24, 1965, the musicians were awaiting release of a new record. They were currently playing on the California-Nevada circuit. A further update on the musicians: the three men shown appeared as the Jerry Sun Trio in June, 1965, in the Cascade Room of the Bon Marche. They were scheduled to perform for two weeks. A small article in the June 24, 1965, News Tribune indicated that novelty tunes and a wide variety of musical stylings could be expected. They apparently played in the "Arthur Lyman" style; Arthur Lyman was a well known Hawaiian musician whose exotic hit, "Yellow Bird" was a nationwide hit in 1961.

Burma and Ivan, two baby gorillas purchased by E.L. Irwin, the owner of the B&I Circus Store at 8012 South Tacoma Way, were photographed in August of 1964 shortly after they arrived in Tacoma from the Congo. Burma, the little female, died soon after she arrived. Ivan, the male of the pair, resided off and on at the Irwin's home until his natural playfulness, curiosity and strength proved destructive. In 1967 he moved into the little gorilla house at the B&I that had been built for him, located between the pet shop and the clothing department; he was a resident at the B&I for nearly 30 years. In 1994, the family of E.L. Irwin donated Ivan to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. The zoo then arranged a permanent loan to Zoo Atlanta where it was felt that Ivan could best integrate into a social group. Ivan died in Atlanta on Monday, August 20, 2012.
